Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the school's appeal, ruling it remains liable for the teacher's occupational disease compensation despite the 1999 public administration reform. The school argued that state takeover transferred all financial obligations to the Treasury, but the court found no change in the school's identity or the teacher's employment status. Consequently, the court held that the reform only added the Treasury as a guarantor, not replacing the school as the employer.
